Description David Sveningsson 2009-06-02 07:58:51 UTC 
During the build the following error is issued:

You have a known bad version of maildrop (1.0). It is buggy and doesn't
work!

However, the emerge continues and tries to install the non-built qmail-scanner-queue.pl leaving a *borked* installation. See URL for a details about the error. Sadly it seems like qmail-scanner ./configure doesn't return an non-zero exit code.

This issue has been reported upstream and a fix is scheduled for the next release. Meanwhile I think a simple patch should be applied or block against maildrop-2.1.0

Also, this affects all versions of qmail-scanner in tree.
Comment 3 Ben Maas 2009-06-17 17:22:13 UTC 
What makes this particularly insidious is that dies silently, instantly turning your mail server into a zombie.  Seems to me we've seen similar problems like this before with this package.  Would adding a sanity check to the ebuild (qmail-scanner-queue.pl has a file size > 0) be within the guidelines?  In the mean time, can we please gets this pushed through.

I have similar problem with on amd64

[ebuild   R   ] mail-filter/maildrop-2.2.0  USE="berkdb gdbm mysql -authlib -debug -fam -ldap -postgres" 0 kB
[ebuild   R   ] mail-filter/qmail-scanner-2.05  USE="clamav spamassassin" 0 kB

downgrade to maildrop-2.0.4 help me
Comment 7 Tomas Lavicky 2010-03-10 12:06:49 UTC 
It's not fixed for qmail-scanner-2.05 yet I'm afraid.
The same problem with 

[ebuild   R   ] mail-filter/maildrop-2.2.0  USE="berkdb gdbm ldap mysql -authlib -debug -fam -postgres" 0 kB
[ebuild   R   ] mail-filter/qmail-scanner-2.05  USE="clamav spamassassin" 0 kB

Anyway maildrop.2.1.0.patch works.
Comment 8 David Sveningsson 2010-03-10 13:03:56 UTC 
The attached patch was applied by upstream in 2.07. But instead of adding the patch to 2.05 wouldn't it be better to stabilize 2.08?
